The way Brooklyn-based GREATS approaches footwear is a strategy that keeps working out for them, if looks are any indication. The popular retailer has taken one of its more popular silhouettes and updated it with the quality and construction of a slick dress shoe, cut for year-round wear.
The brand’s new Royale Chukka in Nero is every bit as sharp as a pair of black wingtips, crafted from rich Italian leather and featuring a vegetable tan vachetta calf leather liner that should make ’em exceptionally comfortable. It builds off the already-versatile colors that the Royale Chukka currently comes in — the Oxblood or Nimbus Grey colors would be similarly wearable. But if it’s a dressier pair of sneakers that you seek, you just might have found them. The crisp white Margom sole should add another dimension of durability, and the sharp silhouette means you should fee free to wear them with a blazer to the office — and then out to happy hour, no sweat. – $169
